Today’s guest is Ruth Seba of SebaSilver. I have met Ruth last year via the blogging challenge and I am proud to say: we became friends. Most of you have seen the wonderful filigree jewels Ruth and her husband Doka create on the wonderful Croatian island Korcula.

Why did you decide on this career/area of study?
I fell in love & fell into this job….
My husband and I opened our own business together a year ago.
What are your 3 favourite things about it?
It’s OURS!
The chance to share Doka’s fabulous jewellery with the world
Meeting people
What are the 2 or 3 least favourite things about it?
The rules we have to follow here – so many of them make little or NO sense – for example we have to pay a 23% luxury tax on all jewellery items sold that we make ourselves – that is in addition to 23% PDV = robbery!!
The tourist season is very short here so we have to rely on a very short time frame to generate our income for the year.
Have you ever changed your carreer?
If so: why?
YES! Love/life it was time for (another) change.
How do you relax after a hard day?
Pizza in the moonlight after a 11 hours shift was popular last summer – often with a glass of wine
What or who helps you when you are feeling really down?
Friends
What do you think, makes you strong?
My beliefs & morals
Which book, movie or music would you recommend to our readers?
Goodbye Sarajevo for an interesting insight into refugees lives during the recent war in this region – written by two sisters, very interesting and moving.
You have to leave to an island and can take five items with you.
Which items would that be and why?
Haha – I already live the island life!
What do you first spot when meeting another person?
Hopefully the smile
Do you have a secret talent?
yes
Do you have a website / blog you would like me to promote?
Both… thanks Helen,
SebaSilver
